dc.description.abstract The spread between the current spot and futures prices (the basis) is one of the most popular predictors of movement in the future spot price. <br/> This paper demonstrates that the use of a popular regression technique to evaluate the ability of the futures price to predict movement in the spot price results in a test statistic with a non-standard distribution. A small Monte-Carlo experiment reveals that standard procedures may result in a high probability of type one error. en_CA
